society buffy. opinion polls show catalans fairly evenly divided on whether or not to seed from spain. a considerable majority want the democratic process to decide. let's over about the e. u.'s position in all of this i'm joined by it's just i guess she's the executive director of the u. c. l. european institutes thank you for being with us tonight. now add given them leaders say that by being silent the eu is turning its back on repressive practices by the spanish state. should be you step in and be more vocal about this because we did. officials comment on practices said the u. dislikes in hungary for example all poland why the silence. on catalonia. we didn't carry very difficult moment for the european union can affect. they have tried to to beyonce courses on the fifth at possibly khan. edited a huge concern to them you have to remember the eu is technically a union of member states current that

a different kind of the conflict however we are not at the moment looking at that customary. come spain italy central government has not had been. requested such mediation. and judging from current action that are likely going to do that is his bid make. this arab to is is part of the the concern for the eu and. that the prospects of catalonia e correct and. the boat would go against independent. the question here is that for a very long time though the conflict has been not only about independence but about the right to vote if or if not people want independenc.

the longstanding conflict going back a long time. behalf that full at this point i think in the european union primarily concerned not about losing. but about how to deal with a conflict that they still call it domestic issue but that's it threatening to spill lebanon at the bigger questions about the role. of the european institute who could say. this this different to the ab scottish independence referendum of a few years ago does the e. you have a similar r or of a different stylyle. well y yes and no. on the oe hand of course the scottish referendum with a c complety different story why because it was effectively agreed between dukakis parliament. and. the. uk government that whatat procedures in place n agreement about how one might proceed should cultish vote for independence. we've also at that time hide clearly spam. all that was needed in. court had independent go to take life
